App Designs
These mock applications demonstrate how Parch software should look and behave. Each one is assembled from the same design tokens and components shown in the Design System, nothing here is a disconnected mockup. Use the theme switch on every mock to check light and dark.
Two kinds of entry live in this gallery:
- First-party app, the application exists (e.g. Pastor, parch-welcome); the mock illustrates its design direction and interaction patterns.
- Design concept, a proposed design that does not ship today; it shows the HIG applied to a surface Parch has not built yet.

Toolkit reality
Mocks represent Parch's shared design language. When an application is built with GTK/libadwaita or Qt, it keeps its toolkit's native widgetry, header bars, shortcuts, and menus map to toolkit equivalents. See Platform integration for the mapping rules.
